The past 18 months have been particularly brutal for Australian universities.
They have been forced to move to full online learning.
Their student bodies (both domestic and international) have been heavily impacted.
Their budgets have been heavily hit, leading to (in some cases) staff and course cuts.
And unfortunately they've receive no help from the Government to get them through the worst crisis that Australian higher education has known.
But what does all this mean for YOU?
Should it change the university you study at?
Should it change the way you look at Australian higher education in general?
The answer is... it depends!
Not all universities have been impacted equally.
And not all DEGREE programs at individual unis have been impacted equally.
